The Republican voters stayed home and they’ll do it again.
Pass Trump’s agenda or the mid-terms will be a blood bath - the Republicans will stay home - we’ve seen it before. The problem is I don’t think the Republicans care - for 2 reasons:
1. This whole leading thing is hard and they don’t like the responsibility
2. And more importantly: they can’t let Trump succeed. How do you let a non-politician come to DC and fix everything in less than 2 years when they couldn’t do it for decades - besides, the don’t want it fixed.
So, be ready for next fall - it will be as ugly as this race was.
That’s a good point. McConnell was happy to lose this seat. He didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. I too wonder if they care if they lose their majority. They lose their majority, they can blame Trump, Dems will hamstring Trump more than they are and try to impeach him, and they’ll proclaim the last thing we need is another person who isn’t establishment.
